Enquirer Exclusive! Nats will play at RFK in 2008!

"Those are the little touches that, when you put them together, make the difference between a regular ballpark and a great ballpark. That comes from our mall background. We're always reviewing plans for stores. Everything that went into the stadium we reviewed so it fit the image we want.[So we have decided to turn Nationals Park into a Mall, and play baseball at RFK.]"(Mark Lerner, via Washington Post, 3/28/2008)

In stunning last minute decision by the Lerner family, with the blessing of the District, Nationals Park will be converted into a shopping mall, and the Nationals will continue to play baseball at RFK Stadium "for the foreseeable future". Stan Kasten unavailable for comment.
